{{Short description|Design style during the 20th century}}{{Use mdy dates|date=January 2021}}File:Breakers CIMG0089.JPG|thumb|The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida is a grand example of Mediterranean Revival style]]Mediterranean Revival is an architectural style introduced in the United States, Canada, and certain other countries in the 19th century. It incorporated references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Italian Renaissance, French Colonial, Beaux-Arts, Moorish architecture, and Venetian Gothic architecture.Peaking in popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the movement drew heavily on the style of palaces and seaside villas and applied them to the rapidly expanding coastal resorts of Florida and California.Structures are typically based on a rectangular floor plan, and feature massive, symmetrical primary façades. Stuccoed walls, red tiled roofs, windows in the shape of arches or circles, one or two stories, wood or wrought iron balconies with window grilles, and articulated door surrounds are characteristic.BOOK, Harris, Cyril M., American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia,weblink registration, 1998, Norton, New York [u.a.], 0393730298, 211, WEB, Colorful, Exotic and Bold Lines Define the Mediterranean House Plan,weblink The Plan Collection, August 1, 2015, Keystones were occasionally employed. Ornamentation may be simple or dramatic. Lush gardens often appear.The style was most commonly applied to hotels, apartment buildings, commercial structures, and residences.
